Conditions of Registration 2022/23: Supplementary Agreement (Policing)

In March 2022, The Open University published the Conditions of Registration Supplementary Agreement (Policing) 2022/23 for the first time.

This Supplementary Agreement applies to Learners that have been accepted on to the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and Police Community Support Officer Apprenticeship (PCSO-A) only and sets out the additional terms relating to study of a PCDA or PCSO-A.

The changes made:

There have been several significant changes to this policy:

  1. The policy has been aligned to Student Charter Values in response to the relaunch of the Charter in 2020, previously the policy was aligned to Principles; 2 We aim to inspire and enable learning, and, 3 We share the responsibility of learning.
  2. A new paragraph has been written into ‘What this document covers’ to address changes which may be made to this document throughout the year, and to set expectation of notification in that instance.
  3. Legislation around Reasonable Adjustments for disability has been referenced appropriately.
  4. New Sections added entitled “Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the Open University” and “Safe Space Reporting”.
